Collection of photos and/or videos for a webpage and/or Power Point Presentation with short captions in L1 and English showing experiments in physics and/or science to help pupils to improve their interest in and knowledge of science subjects
Twinspace : http://new-twinspace.etwinning.net/web/p19634/welcome

Aims:
-Removing borders and creates a virtual classroom with European students working together and developing a real project.
-The presentations of schools, the products created by students, the movies with experiments, the articles with details about these, will be published on own web magazine created for this project.
-to improve the understanding and learning of Science
-to improve the use of ITC
-to improve crosscurricular co-operation
-It will get a space with valuable educational content.

Work process:
1-presentation of town / region / country
2-presentation of school / class(es)
3-Students will format working groups in each class of three or four members. Each working group will select two or three experiments.
4-Each group develops the experiments selected. Students will take photos and videos that will accompany the explanations of experiments. Students prepare files (text/photo/video) with the proper software.
5-The students serve as journalists, will edit articles with the conducted experiments on the project web magazine.
6-These articles will be sent for approval to the teacher-editor, who can then publish them.
7-Students will organize an exhibition in the school with screenings of films, brochures, posters and other materials to promote their work and project results.
8-And finally students are loading, collecting of presentations and exchanging of the material on webpage.

Expected results:
-This project will contribute students to understand different cultures and be aware of them along with providing benefits to students for their language and science education.
-Students will better understand the physical and chemical phenomena in experiments; they will use Twinspace to collaborate and communicate with colleagues working group and project partners in the participating countries.
-They will improve their ICT skills, will learn to use Web 2.0 technologies; will develop writing and reading skills in English.
